## Description

Five million straws. One needle. Start with your bare hands.

Step into a quiet farmyard, walk up to the haystack, and pick the straw that catches your eye. Toss it aside, drop it wherever you like, or make a new pile. Every bit of hay you inspect brings you closer to the needle.

Turn a tiny search into a much bigger operation. Earn coins as you work, sell recovered valuables, and upgrade from gloves to a rake and vacuum. Buy a conveyor sorting line, move its intake to fresh hay, and improve the sorter as the checked pile grows.

The needle is not the only thing hiding in there. Discover 34 types of lost objects, from bottle caps and pocket watches to family keepsakes. Some will pay for your next upgrade; others belong in your collection.

Search at your own pace, alone or with friends in online co-op. Share the haystack, coins and purchased upgrades while everyone chooses their own tool.

One enormous pile. One very small goal. Find the needle, then take on another haystack.
